A very rare ebony and gilt-brass mounted striking miniature table clock; one of only seven miniature table clocks extant by Tompion. The well signed dial has double-screwed lower spandrels and subsidiary dials, the latched 7 pillar movement has Tompion's unique repeat system and the backplate is finely engraved with a martian trophy. Both case and movement are correctly numbered 457.
